When animal crimes investigator Kieran Yeats take on the case of Captain Isobel "Izzy" Tremblay, a decorated Canadian Air Force pilot shot down over Iraq, she enters a frightening world of international terrorism. Jihadists, or Daesh as they call themselves, have followed Izzy from Iraq to her home n Victoria, Canada, kidnapped her PTSD dog Beatrice, and sent a note demanding money for her safe return. In five days, the jihadists say, they want $10,000 or Beatrice will die. With the help of her friend, former RCMP constable Miranda Blake, Kieran begins the hunt for Beatrice. Their search leads them to Russian dogfighters, a trio of militants making IEDs in a Victoria loft, and finally, to a group of jihadists on the RCMP's watch list. But the jihadists prove elusive, and as time ticks away, thing look bleak: will they be in time to save Beatrice?
